How to Beat Infant Asthma
Childhood asthma - did you cause it? Several people have successfully sued their mothers for smoking while they were pregnant. Could your children sue you for having had infant asthma? Probably. Asthma symptoms in children can often be caused by the mother having an unhealthy lifestyle. That's official. Doctors can lose their licence for revealing that there is a free cure that has been known for decades.
Here are some warning signs
- Breathing rate rises to more than 40 breaths/minute while the baby's sleeping.
- Infant stops suckling or feeding.
- Breathing in tightens skin round ribs.
- Chest looks too big.
- Face is pale or red. Blue fingernails on baby show poor circulation.
- Lack of breath makes him/her cry less for shorter times.
- Struggles to breath through mouth and flared nostrils.
- Snorts while feeding.
Asthma and pregnancy
Is there any way in which a pregnant mother could increase the chance of asthma in her children? Could you really have asthma because your mother smoked during pregnancy? (I'm not letting fathers off the hook either.) If you breathe badly you can't give your baby enough Oxygen.. That means that if you are gasping for breath yourself your baby is getting even less air. Yes you can learn to cure your own asthma and that of your children.
Of course, the money-grubbing quacks are always present with us. medical practitioners are only interested in the money that they can get from you, not in curing you. If medical practitioners cured you you would stop giving them money. UPDATE: I've just heard that a doctor will lose his membership if he tells people about the free cure for asthma because the drug companies will lose money.
Here is their official point of view: "Remember: Using asthma medicine during pregnancy is much safer than letting your asthma get out of control. Such asthma medicines as inhaled beta-agonists (quick relief medicines like Maxair or Proventil), cromolyn (medicines that prevent triggers from causing reactions in your lungs, like Intal), and inhaled steroids (long-term controller medicines like Flovent) are safe for pregnant women when you take them as directed by your doctor. Please don't read the instructions as it might decrease our income." Some of that is untrue.
Singing makes you feel good and the feelings are passed on to your child. Your unborn child can hear the music and will recognize tunes before it can understand words. If you sing along with your husband it will make you feel even better and lessen your chance of having to use pediatric asthma medication.
Prevention of asthma in toddlers
Get ready for a shock! Having at least two pets in the house drastically reduces asthma later on. Fair enough if you don't give your toddlers a chance to learn to fight asthma in childhood by having pets they are likely to suffer every time a cat or dog comes near them. But it's natural for children to be among pets and perhaps eat a cockroach or two. Don't protect them too much or you may give them asthma.
Medical practitioners responsible for asthma in kids
We can't lay all the blame on the parents. medical practitioners cause a lot of the trouble in their endless attempts to sell you more drugs. Research shown that babies given antibiotics are more likely to develop asthma.
Abusing asthma prescription drugs is as common as, or maybe even more common than, street drug use - and medical practitioners are often to blame. People die from asthma prescription drugs.
Steroid drugs prescribed by medical practitioners can make your child prone to diseases by weakening the immune system.
Danger in the showers. When chlorine vaporizes it combines with other airborne particles and forms gaseous chloroform which has been shown to encourage breathing problems such as asthma. The U.S. EPA states that "Due to chlorine and showering, there is an elevated level of chloroform gas in virtually every home in America...". You are risking asthma every time you give your child a shower according to research. Showering in chlorine is worse than drinking it. Of course.
Sing Your Cares Away
If you eat the right delicious asthma health food you'll feel like singing but singing can also help to control asthma.
I can still remember the fun we had singing together when I was a child. Singing releases endorphins into the bloodstream, making you feel positive.
But it has other benefits too. It teaches control in breathing (not the best but good) and the vibrations help to loosen mucus in the airways.
Wouldn't it be grand to have a baby that sang instead of crying? My uncle was a band leader. One day he stopped practicing the trumpet at a very difficult passage, but his baby girl kept on singing through the difficult passage from her pram behind him. Let your baby hear music all the time.
